    My crit dmg with apprentice and shadow is just as high, non-crit dmg with apprentice is higher so its a lot better from what Ive tested.

    Am I correct in assuming that Apprentice is meta now for group content?

    Yes

    Do you know at what uptime percentage Infused and Sharpened yield the same result?
    And is it still best to run a lighting dmg enchant on the front bar as magsorc?

    I'm actually curious about the enchants on the front and back bar with mag sorcs. Will one at least still be the spell dmg enchant?

    Thank you

    I suppose the damage one is on the main bar, since he speaks about "100% uptime".
    But if you don't focus on a 100% uptime, I wonder if lightning enchant can beat the damage one on main bar. And for stam dual wield, I wonder which combo will give the best result now.

    Just light attack once every 5 secs to maintain 100% uptime. For your other bar if using sharp make sure your main damage skills are on that bar. If using infused lightning enchant make sure your main weave attacks is here.

    What about infused on both bars with lightning front and spell power back?

    Infused main hand and Precise off hand. Why Precise? Infused on the off-hand is basically useless since the enchant on that weapon procs much less often than on the main hand. Because Sharpened is useless with a good group that maintains high uptimes on debuffs (NMG, Sunderflame, Alkosh, Minor Fracture, Infused Crusher) and because Nirnhoned will not add to the weapon damage since the off hand only contributes 6% of that weapon's weapon damage. So Precise is really the only option.
    Bow bar would be Nirnhoned since Infused doesn't carry over to the front bar and Sharpened is redundant with all the debuffs.
